Description
This work by Kazimir Malevich exemplifies Suprematism, an abstract art movement focused on basic geometric forms. The composition features a cluster of geometric shapes arranged dynamically against a white background, evoking the sensation of flight.
Kazimir Malevich, a Russian avant-garde artist and art theorist, developed Suprematism around 1913. This abstract art movement focused on basic geometric forms, such as circles, squares, lines, and rectangles, painted in a limited range of colours. Malevich sought to convey pure feeling through non-objective forms, liberating art from representational constraints. He believed that Suprematist art could access a higher spiritual realm. 'Composition of Suprematist Elements (Feeling of Flight)' exemplifies Malevich's Suprematist principles. The composition features a cluster of geometric shapes, predominantly rectangles and lines, arranged dynamically against a white background. The largest shape, resembling a cross or an abstracted aeroplane, dominates the upper-left quadrant. The arrangement suggests a sense of movement and weightlessness, evoking the sensation of flight. The limited palette of black and white further emphasises the purity of form and the absence of representational content.

Artist Biography
Kazimir Malevich
He was born in 1879 near Kyiv, to parents of Polish origin, the eldest of fourteen children. Nine survived to adulthood. He moved through Impressionism, Symbolism, Fauvism, and Cubism before arriving at Suprematism, a system of pure geometric abstraction that he invented in 1913. White on White (1918) pushed the principle to its logical end: a white square, barely visible, tilted on a white background.
In 1927, he took approximately seventy paintings to Berlin for an exhibition. Soviet authorities recalled him abruptly. He left the entire cache with a German architect named Hugo Haering and never saw them again. The works eventually ended up at MoMA in New York and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
In 1930, the secret police arrested him, accused him of Polish espionage, and threatened execution. He was imprisoned for two months. His teaching position was taken away. Artworks and manuscripts were confiscated. He was banned from making art and forced to return to figurative painting under Stalin.
He died of cancer in 1935, aged fifty-six. On his deathbed, Black Square was hung above him. His ashes were buried at Nemchinovka. He had requested a Suprematist sculptural form to mark his grave. Instead, it was marked with a white cube bearing a black square, which was destroyed during the war.
